This is contemporary music at its best, obviously written from the heart. One feels the impending horror the music portends even from this four minute clip. An extraordinary musical portrayal of an inexorable voyage of the damned, mercilessly written complete with the primal scream of ill fated souls. Brilliantly conceived and heart wrenching at best, the work begs to be heard in its entirety.
